Kearsley - Manchester 8.06
« on: June 18, 2011, 06:50:44 AM »
I get the train every day for Kearsley to Salford Crescent to get a connection to Manchester Oxford Rd and back again.

The first train, which dissapointingly only runs once an hour, arrives with only two carriages everyday with no seating availability and people standing in the doorways and ailes. It is also regularly up to half an hour late and sometimes doesn't turn up at all.

Any connection from Salford Crescent to Manchester in the morining is always overcrowded, with people crushed into the doorways and ailes, to the point of being dangerous so that sometimes passangers can't even board the train.

This is unacceptable given the ever increasing cost of tickets
